    <h3>Firm description and career prospects</h3> 
        <div class="editorialContent editorialContentFirmDescription">
<p>
	Winckworth Sherwood is a highly individual law firm, committed to providing our clients with a relevant, competitive and professional service. Our diversity is our strength and our lawyers include top specialists in their fields many with deep personal investment in our clients sectors. We are at the forefront of the private and public sector interface and our modern and collaborative approach enables us to adapt to our clients&rsquo; individual businesses, providing them with pragmatic solutions to their whole range of requirements.</p>
<p>
	<strong>Types of work</strong><br />
	Administrative law, banking and finance, charity law, company and commercial, construction, data protection, disciplinary proceeding, ecclesiastical, education, employment, environmental, estate planning and wills, family, financial crime, intellectual property, licensing, litigation and dispute resolution, parliamentary, PFI/ projects, planning, police &amp; law enforcement, professional negligence, property including commercial and institutional, property dispute resolution, public private partnerships, outsourcing, public law, private client, procurement, real estate, regeneration, residential conveyancing, social housing, trusts, probate and tax. Clients include: Genesis Housing Group; Sainsbury&#39;s; Barratt homes; East Thames Group and Abbey.</p>
<p>
	<strong>Who should apply</strong><br />
	We require a strong academic record both at school and university, but we also look for attributes which demonstrate the potential for making a positive contribution to the firm. It is important to be able to empathise with clients whilst at the same time keeping a clear business head; we look for evidence of these qualities at the outset.</p>
<p>
	We are also interested in indications of high achievement in non-academic pursuits. We are a highly individual firm and we want independent, intelligent and personable trainees - not a type. We want people who, after training, can provide a client with new ideas, bring a fresh approach and help them achieve desired results in a changing legal environment.</p>        </div>

<p>Students will get a comprehensive introduction to the firm&#39;s work, and will be fully involved, in their time with us, in the work of two of our departments. The Scheme is an excellent way to get to know us and our work - and a good way for the firm to get to know you too. For more information, please visit our website.</p>
<p><strong>When and how to apply</strong><br />

    <h3>Training programme</h3> 
        <div class="editorialContent editorialContentDetailsTraining">
<p>
	As a Winckworth Sherwood trainee you will rotate through four departments in six month placements or 'seats'. The purpose of each seat is to give you a solid grounding in that area of the law. We encourage substantial client contact from the start and you will be involved in all phases of a matter. As a trainee you will usually sit with a partner or senior solicitor and may be given the opportunity to manage your own files, subject to suitable supervision.</p>
<p>We have a well developed in-house continuing education programme which draws upon the expertise of partners, qualified staff and guest professionals, in which trainees are encouraged to participate.</p>
<p><strong>When and how to apply</strong><br />
  Apply by 31 July 2012 for a 2014 training contract. Apply <a class="normal" href="http://www.wslaw.co.uk/join-us/training-contracts/" target="_blank">online</a>.</p>        </div>
